The human system is fruitful soil, and
among seeds that terminate most rapidly
in it are those Of rheumatism and men
ralgia. A slight cold, brought on by sit
ting in a draught, wet feet or damp
clothes, will develop either of those
abominable painful maladies with unplea-
SAINT rapidity. The proper proven alive
of this agonizing vegetation is Hostel:er's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine which multi
ies a tendency to either Of the maladies
named, and soothes the arches which they
cause. Nor is it less effective as a rem
cdy for rheumatism than its preventative,
a fact amply attested as any other relating
TO its curative properties. Mariners,
miners, frontiersmen and others have ever
found it a faithful preservative of health
in unfavorable regions and a benign rem
edy for malarial disorders and stomach,
liver and bowel complaints. 1t is a fine
promoter OF appetite and a capital tonic.

Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, ply
ing between Atlantic City and N. Y, had
been troubled with a cough so hat he was
unable to sleep, and was induced to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. 1t not only gave him instant relief,
but allayed the extreme soreness in his
breast. His children were similarly af-
fected and a single dose had the same
happy effect. DR.. Kings New Discovery
is now the standard remedy in the Cole
man household and on board the schooner.

Yankees of India-the descendants of tho
noted fire worshipers of Persia, the race so
noted in the annals of religious persecution
and idolized by the genius of Tom Moore in
Italia Rookh." The remnant driven into
India became traders and manufacturers, and
have slowly but steadily advanced to the
first rank in that country. Progressive, Or

The revival of the liberal Parsees in India

The French are getting ready for war.
They are organizing sanitary trains for the
removal and care of the wounded. Some Of
their Journals say these trains are an absolute
necessity, as the next war will show, in NOV
ing masses so formidable that the mightiest
armies OF the past would be as nothing COM
pared with them. What are we to infer from
thati A general wrangle all over Europef
The Germans have a very complete sani-
tary service. The Russians also have their
sanitary trains; and the Austrinns, thanks to
the Chevaliers de Malte, are also admirably
provided in that respect. But so far France
has only about a dozen sanitary trains, a
number quite insufficient, since it has been
demonstrated by the fact that out of an army
of 25.OOO men one-fourth may be sick or
wounded. Improyisel sanitary trains are al
ways defective in comfort. The minister of

doubled that figure. Mr.. Cobb rose steadily,
until his enumeration for every yarn was
high up into the thousands. He did not ask
these prices, but Mr.. Bonner, finding his
stories popular, voluntarily paid it, and en-
gagged him to write exclusively for The Ledger.
The Gunmaker of Moscow was one of
Mr.. Cobb's most successful stories. 1t has
been %republished again and again by Mr..
Bonner's Ledger, and is as good reading today
as it ever was, and it always was a capital
story. He has spent the larger part of a
t~olerably long life in writing for the one
paper. A list of his serials would be IN ex-
tended one, and he wrote short sketches of
adventure over a pen name-stories that
bristled with indispensable lions and tigers
and wriggled with the most voracious and
p%ugnacious of snakes.

name gave one the idea that he enjoyed a
